Naruto: I can decompose everything

The significance of the two words "Wood Release" to Konoha is immeasurable.

This is because it was the signature ninjutsu of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

It is a legendary ninjutsu that once defeated Madara Uchiha, subdued the nine tailed beasts, and dominated the entire ninja world.

Although everyone is outwardly praising the Third Hokage as the strongest Hokage, the recent Nine-Tails attack actually speaks volumes.

If the Third Hokage was truly that strong, he wouldn't have been unable to defeat the Tailed Beasts, requiring the Fourth Hokage to sacrifice himself...

In short, even ordinary ANBU members who didn't understand the true value of Wood Release couldn't help but widen their eyes at this moment.

Uchiha Shisui was somewhat stunned, never expecting to witness traces of both Susanoo and the power of Wood Release today.

Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared much calmer, but he immediately gave the order: "Kakashi..."

The latter nodded silently upon hearing this.

Without the other party needing to tell them what to do, they quickly contacted several other ANBU ninjas to form hand seals together.

"Sealing - Five Elements Barrier!"

As the low shout fell, a pale golden barrier suddenly rose, enveloping the entire area. It could both block outsiders from prying into it and serve as a defensive barrier to trap enemies.

Once the barrier was formed, the Third Hokage immediately instructed his subordinates to read the confidentiality agreement to everyone present, his tone serious and brooking no argument.

The symbolic meaning of Wood Release is already approaching the level of secrecy surrounding the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Any leak could attract the covetous eyes of other ninja villages, bringing annihilation upon Konoha.

Especially the root members.

Although they were all from Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi was clearly not very at ease with them, worried that there might be spies among them.

So even though they all already bore the mark of the severing of the tongue, he still checked them one by one before letting them go.

then...

Once all the secrecy and investigation work was completed, the Third Hokage summoned a medical ninja to treat the unconscious "Armor".

Pale green medical chakra enveloped the boy's frail body, repairing the disordered chakra within him and his external injuries.

Before long, "A" slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with the bewilderment of just waking up and the instinctive vigilance.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately stepped forward, his previous serious expression replaced by his signature gentle smile:

"Child, don't be afraid. This is Konoha. No one will hurt you again."

What a classic line...

For some reason, Uchiha Shisui felt a sense of familiarity when he saw that smile and heard that conversation...

What happened next is self-evident.

From birth, "A" was imprisoned in darkness by Danzo, surrounded by cold, utilitarian ideas and violent indoctrination. His mind was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and he had never been exposed to true warmth and faith.

However, in terms of understanding the "Will of Fire" alone, Hiruzen Sarutobi's level is definitely above Danzo's.

Therefore, just a few heartfelt words and a touch of well-placed care were like warm sunshine piercing through the haze, easily dismantling the distorted teachings of Danzang over the years.

He was quickly brainwashed by Hiruzen Sarutobi and was directly tricked into joining the Anbu...

He announced that the other party would join the Anbu with him, and would be personally supervised and trained by the Konoha leadership, so that this precious Wood Release power could truly be used by Konoha.

They even gave the other side a new code name for their secret service—Tianzang!

even.

Whether it was due to the turning of the gears of fate, or to appease the other party, the Third Hokage came up with an even easier way to win people's hearts.

He walked up to the other person, stroked their head, and said in a calm but undeniably authoritative voice, "From today onwards, you will be called Yamato. Say goodbye to the past and come to my side..."

A simple name signifies recognition and belonging.

This behavior might seem inexplicable to a normal person.

But for someone like Yamato, who has felt lonely since birth.

That was like a ray of light in the darkness.

"Yamato...that's my name..."

He murmured softly.

In an instant, a warmth I had never felt before surged into my heart, dispelling all my unease and wariness.

This was the first time he felt valued, and for the first time, a pure and innocent smile bloomed on his face.

It was this smile that made Kakashi, who was standing next to him, tremble slightly and feel something.

Uchiha Shisui, standing to the side, had completely forgotten the strange sense of familiarity he had felt earlier; all that remained was emotion and admiration.

"Is this the legacy of the 'Will of Fire'? Truly worthy of the Third Hokage..."

For a moment, everyone seemed to agree with what was happening.

Just as Yamato clenched his fist, a glimmer of hope for the future igniting in his eyes, preparing to agree to Hiruzen Sarutobi's request, a cold yet familiar voice suddenly rang out from the shadows of the barrier, shattering this brief harmony:

"Wait, you can't take this child with you."

The next moment, a figure dressed in black, with his right eye tightly covered by bandages, slowly walked out. His face was sinister, and even though he was missing an arm, he still exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

In an instant, the crowd, who had been startled by the sound and were about to assume a defensive posture, were suddenly silenced.

They were even more stunned.

Because the other party was actually... Danzo, who should have been dead!!!

"How is this possible... Danzo, you're not dead?"

At this moment, even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had known Danzo for many years and considered him a close friend, couldn't help but widen his eyes, his tone filled with disbelief.

The aged body paused slightly.

Meanwhile, the Root members who had been disheartened were suddenly overjoyed.

"Lord Danzo, you're still alive?!"

Compared to the Third Hokage, as direct descendants of Root, they were naturally more willing to follow Danzo, who was the one who created Root and gave them a sense of belonging.

Danzo, however, curled his lips into a cold smile, his gaze sweeping over the crowd with a hint of mockery: "Since all of you are unharmed, how could I possibly die so easily?"

The Root members: "..."

They really had no way to respond to such ridicule.

On one hand, there was the suppression of their status; on the other hand, what the other party said was indeed true.

Apart from those who were burned to death by Rin Uchiha at the beginning and a few unlucky ones who were crushed to death, this group of people actually all survived!

To be honest, they couldn't figure out the true thoughts of the person who attacked the Root.

However, Danzo had no interest in them.

At this moment, after scanning everyone, his gaze finally settled firmly on Yamato, his eyes like those of a greedy hunter eyeing its prey, direct and ardent.

In an instant, for some reason, even though the other party wasn't looking directly at him, Uchiha Shisui felt a strange sense of fear and unease rising up all over his body.

Yamato felt a chill run through him, as if he were about to fall into darkness again.
